Cork ace O’Sullivan calls a halt to inter-county career

CORK’S Ciarán O’Sullivan has announced his retirement from inter-county football after a career that spanned 12 years.

Regarded as one of the best wing-backs in the game, the Urhan man made his senior debut as a wing-forward against Kildare in the 1992 National League and has been ever-present on the team since.

Living in the Beara pensinula, O’Sullivan faced a 200 mile round trip to training a couple of nights a week in pursuit of his All-Ireland dream, but Derry (1993) and Meath (99), spoiled the party.
